Boutique gaming PC company Digital Storm has rolled out the Intel X99 chipset to its high performance gaming systems, such as the Aventum II. PC enthusiasts look forward to using X99 to push their hardware benchmarks, as Digital Storm and OEMs roll out X99-related product announcements.

The Intel Core i7 5960X will be introduced into Digital Storm Level 3 and Level 4 builds, with the Core i7 5960X overclocked to 4.6GHz - an impressive 150 percent faster than the Core i7 4960X. In addition, gamers can look forward to seeing X99 support DD4 RAM, which will increase bandwidth so applications run faster and can more easily handle data-intensive video games.

"The goal with all our systems is to maximize performance," said Harjit Chana, Digital Storm Chief Brand Officer, in a press statement. "That means arming each Digital Storm system with the bleeding edge technology needed to dominate the competition."
